Earth Centered Inertial (ECI) Coordinate System

•Oblateness of the Earth causes direction of axes to move over time•So that coordinate system is truly “inertial” (fixed with respect to stars), it is necessary to fix coordinates• J2000 system fixes coordinates at 11:58:55.816 hours UTC on January 1, 2000

Precession and Nutation

Earth
1.Rotation axis (now pointing near Polaris)
2. In ~13,000 yrs, rotation axis will point near Vega 3. In ~26,000
yrs, back to Polaris

•Precession is the large (23.5 deg half-angle) periodic motion•Nutation is a superimposed oscillation (~9 arcsec max)

Earth Centered Earth Fixed (ECEF) Coordinate System

Notes: (1) By convention, the z-axis is the mean location of the north pole (spin axis of Earth) for 1900 – 1905, (2) the x-axis passes through 0º longitude, (3) the Earth’s crust moves slowly with respect to this coordinate system!

■ Approximation to Earth’s shape– Flattened at poles
■ World Geodetic System (WGS)-84 values:– Semimajor axis, a = 6378137.0 m– 1/f = 298.257223563

■ Equipotential surface of Earth’s gravity field that fits mean sea level on average globally
■ Common representations:– Spherical harmonic coefficients– Grid of values over Earth
■ Heights measured relative to geoid are referred to as orthometric heights

Geoid = Equipotential GravitySurface
Ellipsoid = Reference Model Equipotential Surface
H = Orthometric Height
N = Geoid Height
h(Ellipsoid Height) = H(Orthometric Height) + N(Geoid Height)
h = Ellipsoid Height

■ Earth’s surface is not rigid, but rather somewhat pliable■ Lunar and solar gravity, etc., deform the Earth with strong
diurnal and semidiurnal variations over time– Displacements may be as large as ~30 cm
■ Ocean tides can cause additional few cm station displacements in coastal locations
■ Station coordinates often defined to exclude effects of solid Earth tides and ocean loading

■ Difficult to define time!■ For our purposes, time is the quantity that is read off a
clock■ Any clock includes two main components:– Periodic event– Counter of that event
Time

■ Universal Time (UT) - one of several time scales based upon rotation rate of Earth– UT0 – mean solar time based upon astronomical observations
from prime meridian– UT1 – corrects UT0 for polar motion– UT2 – corrects UT1 for seasonal variations in Earth rotation
rate– The second used to be defined as 1/86400 of a solar day
■ Atomic time– Since 1967, the second has been defined by the duration of
9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the Cesium-133 atom
– International atomic time (TAI) – timescale maintained by international collection of atomic clocks

■ TAI is a continuous timescale– No connection to mean solar time
■ UTC differs from TAI by an integer number of “leap” seconds– Introduced when needed to keep UTC within 0.9 s of UT1
– As of May 2013, TAI – UTC = 35 s
■ UTC is maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) in Sevres, France– Produced using times maintained by over 250 clocks in 65 nations
– Not in real-time
■ Official U.S. time is the realization of UTC maintained by the U.S. Naval Observatory – UTC(USNO)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

■ GPS Time is maintained by the GPS control segment based upon an average of all system clocks– Satellites– Monitor stations
■ It is a continuous time scale– TAI – GPS Time 19 s– GPS Time – UTC 16 s (as of May 2013)
■ GPS Time is specified with be within 1 microsecond of UTC(USNO) modulo 1 s

■ A satellite’s orbit is in the shape of an ellipse with the Earth at one focus
■ The radius drawn from the center of the Earth to the satellite sweeps out equal area in equal times
■ The square of the orbital period of a satellite is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis

Keplerian Elements – Shape of Orbit
28
A = location of satellite, F = focus (Earth center), P = perigee (lowest point on orbit)
Keplerian elements:a = semimajor axise = eccentricity
= time of perigee passing

Keplerian Elements – Orientation of Orbit
29
= right ascension of ascending node, i = inclination, = argument of perigee

■ Satellite orbits are not perfect ellipses due to various perturbations:– Earth’s oblateness– Third-body effects – sun, moon, etc.– Solar radiation pressure
■ As a result, more orbital elements are needed to accurately convey satellite locations– Example: Broadcast GPS orbits use basic Keplerian elements
plus some rate terms plus sine/cosine corrections to some elements

■ For most modern satellite navigation systems, positioning is based upon one-way ranging
■ Ranges to each satellite are estimated using the speed of light multiplied by measured signal transit time (time of receipt minus time of transmission)
■ Most GNSS users do NOT have a high precision clock– Thus, ALL range measurements are biased by user clock error
multiplied by the speed of light– These biased range measurements are commonly referred to
as pseudoranges■ GNSS pseudorange measurements also include many other
errors, to be discussed in the next lecture

With three satellites and perfect user clock, one can estimate user location; with imperfect user clock, four satellites are needed to determine user location and clock error (4 equations, 4 unknowns).
